Saturday, November 14, 2009

The nation's No. 1 high school basketball player is headed to North Carolina. The stage was set. With the pep band, cheerleaders and entire Ames (Iowa) High student body looking on, Harrison Barnes, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound senior small forward, ended his highly publicized recruitment by placing a video conference call to the winning coach. "Coach Roy Williams?" Barnes asked, as Williams, surrounded by his North Carolina team, appeared on the video screen. (Inside Carolina)
